Asked By:Aaron87 in Budapest, Hungary

I have a vein on the temple area that's always visible but shows especially when my heart rate is elevated (when it's hot outside, when I'm nervous etc.). I read here that it's possible to have it removed with laser. Should I go ahead and do it or can it have any adverse side effects I should be concerned about?
